Chapter - 305
Stepping into the light was a nightmare. It looked like a dog, if a dog had been designed by a committee of sadists and built by DARPA. It was a robotic quadruped, the size of a lion, plated in black chrome armor. Its eyes were glowing red sensors. Mounted on its back was a dual-barreled turret.
[System Notification: Enemy Detected.]
[Type: K-9 Hunter-Killer Drone Prototype]
[Threat: It bites. And shoots.]
"Bad dog," Rick whispered.
The robot let out a synthesized roar and charged.
"Sharon! Shoot the legs!" Rick yelled, pushing Nadia behind him.
Sharon fired, but the bullets sparked harmlessly off the sloped armor of the drone. It was fast, closing the distance in seconds. The turret on its back swiveled, tracking Rick.
Rick checked his inventory. Cash. Rolex. Lint.
"Damn it!"
He needed something for the dog to chew on. Something distracting.
He looked at Nadia.
"Don't you dare!" she screamed, reading his mind.
